Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Although it ‘requires’ payment, the Deputy Commissioner’s award, standing alone, has no coercive effect. And in a review proceeding under § 21(b) the District Court cannot coerce payment of accrued installments, either pendente lite or in a final judgment affirming the award. By express provision of the Act, the only methods of enforcement available to a beneficiary are those set out in § 21(c) and § 18, each of which requires a new proceeding in the District Court, separate and distinct from that in which the award is reviewed under § 21(b).” Id. at 621. (Emphasis added).”
